Plus sized fishing clothing
Submitted by pigdaddy on Sun, 2012-12-30 13:41
Hey guys,
Was wondering if anyone knew where to source fishing attire for us larger more flotatious fisho's. I'd love to get something like the columbia bonehead or similer (saw a blue shirt in bcf I liked the feel of, light weight/vented etc) but am having a very very hard time of it. Am looking for i guess 5xl in shirt (50inch neck) and a 6xl in pants/shorts so I can hit the beach during the day and not fry as I get burnt even under a full moon.
If anyone's happened to see any or knows of a website that can acoomodate please let me know. Am looking at US sites but its kinda daunting and confusing trying to cross match sizings etc.

Guessing pigdaddy means
Guessing pigdaddy means 60cm, which would put him in range of 5xl-6xl (22-24inches). Columbia bonehead shirts do come in big sizes, but I'm not sure where you can buy them. Perhaps overseas, or find a boutique fishing/hiking place who can order them in?

will have to have another
will have to have another look at workwear i guess.
my high vis work shirts are a little heavy for my liking in this application. My goal was to get something really nice and breezy so I can fish the beach during the day and not burn (but not overheat).. I'll take another look as I can order stuff through work if need be.

had a look at that
had a look at that sierratradingpost place.. they can suck a dick. Sure they had my size which is great but the cost of shipping!!.. they must be crackheads or something to charge that much.. EG if my order is 0-60 the shipping is 49.. wtf is that!!
Will have to keep looking, atleast if they have 5xl then surely someone else must as well.
